Got up this morning and made Broccoli Cheese soup. I had a meeting with someone here at home at 10 so that cooked while we met and when they left at 11:15 I packaged everything to deliver to the school. I delivered the soup, 5 cup salad and yummy cake. I promised you yesterday that I would get back to you on that. The cake still did not come out of the pan like when I made it the first time(with the pecan/coconut icing) so I am thinking it must be using the cream cheese icing. Don't know what else it could be. No worries though. It was still yummy and I did use the vanilla glaze. I thought that was the right touch. I cut a hunk of that cake for them today. Should have enough for 2-3 more families.
When I delivered the meal, the same ladies were together plus the asst. principal that I delivered to yesterday. She loved the Santa Fe soup. Because that is so easy to make I will probably make that for the rest of the week. The ones who had not gotten their meal yet this week seemed to think that sounded good so that will probably be the direction I take. I will come up with something else for my family, although tonight being piano night, we will probably finish up the broccoli cheese soup.
Had someone ask me last night if I was getting tired. I thought about that for a minute. Been thinking about that since then as well. I told them last night (and still feel this way) that sometimes I am tired but the feeling of giving and the neat responses I've gotten supersedes any tiredness that I've felt. However, I do feel like I have less time....time to help with homework, time to watch a movie late at night with Derek, time to "veg". It is one thing for me not to have down time but it's another if I am disappointing anyone here in my own home. To continue this past the original 30 days (which is something I'm flirting with) I need to tweak my current system. Not sure what that is yet. Still thinking and pondering.
hey amy...u r doing an awesome thing...keep up the good work.
ReplyDeletehave u thought of making several throw away tins of baked ziti?...an easy way is to make a big batch of spagetti sauce, some ziti noodles. mix together..put in tins..top with cheese...bake til cheese melts..serve with garlic bread and salad...maybe something different for ur fam...:0)
Hmmmm....I wonder if, after the 30 days, you could make a new goal...maybe give the gift of a meal once a week instead of every day. Maybe make it Meals on Monday or something. I'm so glad that you have shared with us your journey--you're doing so much more than nourishing people and giving food--you're spreading hope and encouragement. It's been so cool to watch from the sidelines! I am going to pray that God will guide you in where and how you're needed next-- that He will light that path clearly for you as you move forward. Thank you for your inspiration!
